Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

yeah they have a charm about them, don't they? god i wish i could've taken some pictures of those shirts i got. i had this one metallica shirt that said their name in huge neon orange lettering and had some old weird pic of them where cliff's misfits tat was the only think with color on it. to top it off it was an all over print shirt. crazy.



ps, on a side note, i really wish i'd bought those sepultura sweats when i was young. do bands still even make sweats anymore?

my little brother makes toys for a living and every time we are in china he picks up all the most recent bootlegs of his toys. kinda fun.

on a side note: iron maiden kicks ass. i still have my shirt from their 1984 world slavery tour. i was in 5th grade...it was awesome. (yes, i was with irresponsible adults)

some one stole my bike but I saw him riding it and got it back! the dumb ass actually left the u- lock on it.... to make it worse the guy who stole it was actually a person who was in a documentary I made a bout day labors and I have him saying "I just want an honest job....I don't want to steal or break into cars" and then the A$% stole my bike! ..... this same bike got stolen again about a 16 months latter. no luck getting it back this time!

first off: I dont care to argue with you on the lack of merit held by Iron Maiden.
second off: why would you want a tee shirt from that tour if you didnt go?
Third off: see my response to first off
fourth off: I told you, its what you get for a) buying an Iron maiden tee, b) buying a tour shirt from a tour you didnt go to c) liking Iron Maiden. Still your fault.

I remember back in the late 90's and early 2000's when hardcore bands used to do the same thing. I bought a pair of Shutdown sweatpants and turned them into cutoffs.

When are jerseys going to be cool again?

i'd be just as at home listening to beethoven, coltrane, wu tang, the beatles, king tubby, misfits, crystal castles, devo, james brown, or the pixies.

music is a beautiful thing.
